Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | November 2013 | Tearaway into a new world

iOS and Android get an original Ratchet & Clank game before Vita, and it's developed by Insomniac too lol

That remembered me this comment xD


I only remembered it because my browser had the Vita October Thread link saved in this page, and everytime I opened it I received that little ray of hope.

My bad. I really thought they were.

Also, excited to find out more about Freedom Wars. I'm playing GE Burst for the first time (my first monster hunting game) and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I still don't get the full grasp of all the customizing stuff but it is enjoyable nonetheless. And the fact that it has a bit of story also helps a lot.

Is it me or does FW looks A LOT like GE?

I didn't like Monster Hunter, but found God Eater pretty good. My main problems with the game were A) Aiming system B) I was unable to understand the bullet crafting system.

Still it was pretty good overall.

Oh, it's an original shit tie-in ala PlayStation All-Stars Island. The difference between that, and this is that Vita received the real PS All-Stars game. Vita has a Ratchet & Clank game, but it might as well not given the quality of the port. But really, it's the fact that Insomniac made the iOS thing. They've never touched either of Sony's handhelds, but phones? C'mon.

Well, there are lots of rumors that say the Vita is getting a port from Into the Nexus and they want to bundle it with the system. So it won't be as shitty as FFA (I mean, you don't bundle your system with an unplayable game. CoD was shitty, sure, but at least it had a decent multiplayer)

They've actually had a casual / mobile division for while now, doing that Facebook game, and were hiring iOS programmers to port it to Apple devices.
 
There is a Ratchet & Clank game coming to iOS?
Can you tell me more? Neve heard if this before.

Ratchet & Clank: Before the Nexus brings the excitement of infinite running to R&C. You can hop between grindrails while avoiding hazards to collect bolts which can be used to upgrade your weapons and armor. Better yet, you can score Raritanium which you can sync with your PlayStation Network account and use to upgrade your weapons in the PS3 game, Into the Nexus.

Presumably they're doing that on their own dime, not Sony's like this app.

Also it's not developed by an internal Sony studio. Clearly Sony doesn't give damn about the series!

well they clearly don't care as they let insomniac release a4o, ffa, and aren't working on the movie at sony
 
Ordered a VITA and two 4GB memory cards.

Are there any issues with having multiple cards for one account?

Welcome to the team! :) Now get yourself a PS+ sub if you don't have one already.
Switching two cards, even for the same account may become a bit of a pain. You have to turn off the console, switch the cards, turn it back on and it will rebuild some databases, which takes from 5 to 30 seconds. Switching the memory card, when the console is turned off will force a restart.
 
Finally beat GTA V's story, so now's as good a time as any to take advantage of 100% trade in bonus at Best Buy in anticipation of....Y's!

You're better off at GameStop if you have time to go today. The tradein promo ending today is 50% bonus on the base value if you buy a used game, and the base value is $30, so you're getting $45 for it (or $48 with PowerUp Pro). If you want to maximize your tradein credit, you can buy a $0.50-$1 shovelware game to get $44 left.

I've kind of chosen my big box retailer by sticking to Best Buy and Reward Zone...however lame that may be. I'll get to apply a $5 certificate there as well with this trade in money ($38 for GTA V right now I think).

Totally unrelated, but I tried a little of the Tearaway demo in a Target and it's looking very polished. Another one to add to the holiday list!

There was a drop today, unfortunately. It's down to $17 base.

For the record the R&C mobile game is just an endless runner

It is Sony Japan

Nope its not being develop internally. Just like soul sacrifice was made by Marvelous AQL or Over My Dead Body 2 by Alfa systems. I'll admit its a bit strange funding 2 monster hunter games like games.

I stand corrected, I did just find an article saying that it was the external development part of Japan, a little odd that there has been no mention of the actual developer. I guess we might find out on November 21

I see, thanks. I'll be using one card when I play physical games and one card for PS+ games. Bought Muramasa Rebirth with the system.

Have PS+ already and 15+ games to play thanks to my sub.
 
Any idea of who's making freedom wars? Has to be avalon or those guys who made Bravely default.

I was slightly interested with the reveal back then. This new trailer has me mildly interested. If gameplay is actually like in the trailer, they have a solid buy from me :D


Magnificent! Cant wait for Tearaway. Btw, who are you all gonna play as? Imma choose Atoi seeing as she has a nicer design to her.
 
They came up with the concept from what I understand, while the game was made by Marvelous mostly along with some Sony guys that worked on Demon's Souls I think.

Huh. Since it was Inafune's idea and such, I figured his company would have handled it. You learn something new everyday, right? :lol

Doesn't matter -- whichever one I can cover up with customizations as fast as possible. Probably Iota.

Balls....>_<

I guess I could put my $10 from the $50 campaign towards the digital but the 32gb card ain't getting any emptier these days!

Oh and Crazy Market has awesome voices.
 
So I'll have access to them as I progress through the main story, not just as I buy them?

Thanks, I'll get them soon enough :)

Maid becomes available after you complete mission 4.
Spy becomes available after you complete mission 11.
Military becomes available after you complete mission 17.

I think.

They're best integrated into your playthrough, especially if you have them from the beginning. As many of us in here have been saying pretty frequently lately. ;)

Sure, not having enough space? ;)
If they're on the same account, sometimes the bubbles get screwy... and they're small as hell so they're probably pretty easy to lose.

Sounds like someone needs to join the 64gb master race.
 
For those with a CFW PSP the English translation patch for the Toradora Visual Novel was released:

Also there's an English patch that applies the Planetarian PC translation to the PSP release

So the PSP is being kept alive by fans, pretty cool I think.

CFW only?
 
I know I asked this before, but I may have missed it or others have...

Does anyone here happen to have Ridge Racer? If so, I'll need to borrow you for a race so I can get a trophy. Gotta get dat platinum. Hit me up with a PM so we can discuss a time. o:
 
Ah sorry for the late reply. I went to bed after that post.
Thought you had the game as well since you mentioned having tits on your system also. ;)

It's this one:



Edit: included a funny picture you get when finishing a certain game mode. Not going to hotlink it just in case it's NSFW. ;)

Holy Poop.

I enjoy moe games but this is wayyy over the top.
 
So I've played Starlight Inception Beta and I've got few problems.

-Fps
-Controls
-Sense of speed
-Graphics

I could see this passing off as a PSP game actually. This is a beta of course so I expect greater things to come from this game.

One thing I got out of playing this is not related to the game but the system itself.

We discussed earlier that there are deadzones on the PS Vita's analog sticks. On the game, you wouldn't notice this and there's virtually none at all. The only time I felt the deadzone was outside of the game on the home menu. So any input lag regarding analog sticks discussed before is moot point.

Holy Poop.

Just the way I like it.

What kind of visual novels are these? Dating-sim kind?

Interested in getting both.
 
Yup, but at this time you should just install it. Sony will never update it.

Set after the anime, original story.

Is there a how-to somewhere here?
Do you have to stay disconnected from PSN and such?
Can you use it for PSOne games too?
Where can I learn more?
